Army Sgt. Roberto D. Sanchez	Can't Post

It's a sad day for those of us who knew Rob.

Rob was a skydiver from Satellite Beach, FL who jumped with us at The Jumping Place in Georgia as well as in Florida. We are saddened to learn about his death. Rob was killed in action in Iraq on October 1, 2009 when his unit was attacked by an improvised explosive device (IED).

You will be missed Rob. Godspeed and Blue Skies !!!!!!

You served when others would never dare, you died trying to insure that others may live in peace.

Your fight is over, rest eternally brother.

When we lose anyone from the armed services anywhere in the world it is a loss, to lose some one who you know compounds that loss and our thoughts and prayers should go out to all who new him.
Big war, little war, ( how ever people think about it in there home) death is still death, and it is sad.
Sleep well young man, and thank you for your devotion to us.
Paul.

Thank you for the correction, I'm not sure why I typed Iraq. Afghanistan is the correct location.
